Cabin: Signature Superior Verandah Suite

Our third cruise, but the first with Holland America Line. Boarding as the usual stressful super heated mayhem. I wish cruise lines could learn something from Middle Eastern air carriers such as Emirates in that respect. The ship was clean and well managed. That it was a Dutch boat showed by the fact that they had LGBT single parties. We (traditional married couple) booked a suite and our 'butlers' were great. Overall staff appeared to be happy and well taken care of. That's not the impression we had on a MSC ship. Ok, the good:

- Entertainment (TV) system was airline style and great.

- Super nice staff

Wonderful. Great. No complaints at all.

Not really worth it. Run down place without any real highlights other than the landscape that you best enjoy from the boat. Spend the day on board and enjoy the empty ship.
